Hey guys, I need your thoughts on installing a'57 rear end in my '49 chevy half ton pick up.
Question: What would the proper angle be between the front of the rear end and the rear end of the transmission be? I took measurements before I removed the torque tube rear end. I have 15" tires. At the front of the rear end measured 11.75" from shop floor. At the rear of the transmission the measurement was 16.25". That indicates a 4.25" rise fron the rear end to the transmission. What would be that angle?
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Mike Smith
